练习 1
Select all the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
Select all the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is not true. We read in the article that Warbuckle "refused to comment" on his case, which indicates that Warbuckle did not speak publicly regarding his situation.
This statement is not true. In the article, we read that Warbuckle was "released after posting the quarter million dollar bail". This means that Warbuckle left prison after paying the sum of money the judge demanded.
This is a true statement. In the article we read that Warbuckle's arrest could have "financial implications" for Warbuckle and for his business partners. The Delavigne Corporation is mentioned in the next sentence of the text as being vulnerable or susceptible to financial losses.
This is a true statement. In the article, we read that Ernest Marshall found a "shotgun shell lodged in the hindquarters" of the bear cub. A shotgun is a large gun, sometimes used for hunting, and a "shotgun shell" is the type of ammunition within it. A shotgun shell refers to the ammunition itself, and not just the casing of the cartridge. In this context, "lodged" means "stuck".
This statement is not true. Cinnamon is in "stable condition", which indicates that she is still alive. Also we read that veterinarians are "supervising (Cinnamon's) recovery", which is another clear indication that the bear is still living.
练习 2
When Bruno walked into the office, Jean was a . (Hint: Bang bang!)
When Bruno walked into the office, Jean was shooting 1 a gun 2. (Hint: Bang bang!)
1 shooting: Jean was "shooting" a gun. Example: Warbuckle shoots bears! "To shoot" is an irregular verb (shoot/shot/shot). A single act of shooting is called a "(gun) shot".
2 gun: A "gun" is a firearm, or a weapon that fires bullets. Guns go "bang!" when you fire them. Jean was shooting a gun when Bruno entered the office. This is because he misunderstood the meaning of the term "troubleshooting".

"If Gidyeon decides to slash his prices..."

Here, "to slash" means "to reduce (a price) dramatically". However, "to slash" also has a more literal meaning!

Find this meaning by matching the action to the corresponding object. Each term is used once!

Dear Vince,
When you find Krazy Gidyeon, please:
1. Punch him in the face with a fist 1.
2. Slash his arm with a knife 2.
3. Shoot him in the hand with a gun 3.
4. Tickle his feet with a feather 4.
Best,
Harold
1 fist: This is correct. A "fist" is a closed hand, the fingers forming a tight ball. "To punch" means to hit or strike someone with a fist. Example: Boxers punch each other in the face. Note: the verb "to punch" is exclusively reserved for "fists" - it is not used with other weapons.
1 knife: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a knife!
1 gun: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a gun!
1 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to punch someone with!
2 knife: This is correct. "To slash" is to cut with a violent (and quite random) sweeping stroke with a sharp blade, most commonly a knife or sword. We use "knives" (with forks) to cut our food into pieces. A "sword" is an "epee" - a long, straight weapon used by knights and pirates! Ah-ha!
2 fist: It is impossible to "slash" using a fist - even if you are Bruce Lee!
2 gun: We can't "slash" with a gun. But you can "strike" or "hit" someone with a gun (if you don't want to make a mess shooting them!).
2 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to slash someone with!
3 gun: This is correct. We "shoot" with a gun. Example: Warbuckle shoots bears! "To shoot" is an irregular verb (shoot/shot/shot). A single act of shooting is called a "(gun) shot".
3 knife: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a knife!
3 fist: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a fist!
3 feather: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a feather!
4 feather: A "feather" is a plume - one of the soft, flat structures that covers a bird's body. Example: My pillow is made of goose FEATHERS. 'To tickle is to move your fingers (or another soft object) over a person's skin so that they laugh. Feathers are perfect for tickling feet!
4 knife: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a knife, but it is easier to use a feather!
4 gun: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a gun, but it is easier to use a feather!
4 fist: I suppose you could tickle someone's feet with a fist, but it is easier to use a feather!
